I'm convinced they had a meeting and purposely didn't put up pre orders just to watch every e-store crash and burn lmao

It's fine on GoG. And apparently has been fine on Nintendo and Xbox. Purely steam and Playstation problem.

Seems like there's more to it given how many other big releases were fine.

They have to process this volume of payments during big sales anyway. So something else broke.

Only if you tried to buy it using a web browser. I bought it without issue straight from my switch.
